Of my 15 kids I have a total of 7 natural polled. All their moms were polled, but the daddy was not.. Of triplets I have had one set that was all polled and the other set was 2 and 1.. Mr. Billy is lined up to be delievered Oct 26th. Tabetha is the only one I have decided to breed for April babies next year. She is a poll and had 2 polled boys in 1999 for which I still have and are just the sweetest and cuttiest boys any mom would ever want. No way would I ever in a million years sale one of my babies. But I understand other peoples reasoning for selling. I sale calves that I raise but I don't dare name them and only touch them when we have to work them. But I don't raise baby kids very often and thats the one and only reason I don't. There's an aution barn within 4 miles of my house and they have a goat & sheep sale there spring and summer twice a month and then off season once a month and have been doing that for years. I have been once and only once and that was enough for me.. Sandy & Kids
